So the 49ers will finish the season going win-win-loss for the entire year. At this pace, the 49ers will beat the Cardinals in the season finale, win their first playoff game and then lose their second. Last year, the 49ers ripped off eight in a row. So why such a lack of consistent winning?

Changing quarterbacks during the season might not help; however I don’t believe Alex Smith would made the different in this 42-13 loss.

One pattern in their losses is a lack of defense, which is strange for a team that came into the game allowing only 15.6 points per game. The defense relented in losses to the Vikings, Giants and most dramatically in Seattle.

The 49ers have really slipped in the last six quarters, giving up 70 points during that time.
